Thoughts on energy
Andrew Sullivan found a very good piece from TNR about oil consumption and the very simple steps we could take to conserve energy (meanwhile loosening our dependence on sketchy regimes in the Middle East).
A simple one-third increase in the mileage of new vehicles would have a remarkably beneficial impact on the United States-Persian Gulf relationship, and quickly. -TNR
Of course, John McCain backs this strategy. 9/11 was the obvious opportunity to revolutionize American energy policy to rid ourselves of having to deal with Islamo-fascist cartels. Bush blew it.
Very ironic. Republicans (at least the ones I know) are so gung-ho about the WOT yet at the same time love their SUV's to death. Ugh.
